Chapter 274 Move the capital?
Not long after Li Xu returned to the mansion in the evening, Song Mu came.
His face looked a little gloomy. Li Xu probably had a little unhappy relationship with Empress Dowager Song.
He told the kitchen to pack up a few plates of side dishes, a pot of iced wine, and the two of them started drinking in the flower hall.
"Uncle Song, is the Empress Dowager angry?"
Li Xu poured a glass of wine for Song Mu and asked casually.
"Do you know who Wang Xiong is?"
Song Mu picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He looked quite unhappy, without the usual elegance and calmness.
"Who? Is it still a prince and noble who hides his identity?" Li Xu pretended not to know.
"He is the brother of the queen chosen by the Queen Mother for His Majesty, and he is also working for the Internal Affairs Department. The Hu merchants you met last time on the street were doing business with him."
Li Xu was "surprised" and then said, "So I got offended Your Majesty's eldest brother-in-law? The Empress Dowager must be very angry. Should I resign and apologize for the crime, so that Uncle Song can give the Empress Dowager an explanation."
Li Xu said casually, obviously just talking and making fun of it.
He didn't take it seriously, and Song Mu wouldn't take it seriously.
He glared at Li Xu angrily, and Song Mu picked up the wine pot and poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one go.
Feeling that the irritability in his heart was much less, Song Mu snorted coldly: "It's just a small imperial merchant. Not to mention that his sister hasn't married His Majesty yet, even if she really gets the queen, it's not his turn to jump around in the Qin Dynasty."
He paused and continued, "Actually, the Empress Dowager didn't mean to blame you too much. It's just that the censors have made too fierce recently and Wang Xiong's incident has happened again. The imperial court is now full of storms, and the Empress Dowager and His Majesty are a little worried."
Li Xu heard the implication, and Empress Dowager Song must have said nothing good about her.
And those naughty little emperors must have been even more clamoring to behead their heads and search their homes.
"So what the Queen Mother meant?"
Li Xu raised his glass and touched Song Mu for a moment, and asked with a calm expression.
Song Mu had a trance after clinking the cup with him. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not worried at all?"
"There is nothing to worry about. If the emperor really wants to cure my crime, then it will be cured. The worst consequence is that he will not be the official. Could it be that His Majesty will let me go to jail and ask for guilt?"
After saying that, he chuckled and looked at Song Mu.
The meaning is very clear. Even if the little emperor and his son really plan to do this, Song Mu, the chief assistant, would not agree.
In the war, it is simply stupid to deal with a commanding general because a small imperial merchant would deal with a commanding general.
Song Mu shook his head and looked at Li Xu and sighed: "I have never seen you open-minded people in my life for so many years. Many of them live for decades and you can see it clearly."
"You seem to have no intention of loving things that others dream of racking their brains to get. This is what I admire the most but also the most puzzled thing."
Facing Song Mu's feelings, Li Xu smiled and said, "I am not as powerful as Uncle Song said. But I know that it is mine, it will be mine. I will not force it if it is not mine. Forced can only cause trouble for oneself, and it has no meaning."
When Song Mu heard this, he stared at Li Xu for a long time, shook his head and said, "I really can't understand you anymore. I originally thought that my eyes were countless people, and even if I couldn't see the sharpness of people, I could still be very insightful. But I couldn't see clearly about you."
Li Xu started to fight: "The most difficult thing for people to understand is people. Let alone look at others. Most people never understand themselves in their entire lives. Don't talk about you, Uncle Song, sometimes I can't see my heart clearly. I can only say that I can take one step at a time, and cherish it."
"What a person who can do it and cherish it. Come and drink this cup for this sentence."
The two raised their glasses and drank them dry in one sip.
Wine is a good thing to cheer up. Men can use the help of drinking parties to cheer up and talk about it. People who are usually held will become much more casual and relaxed.
With the help of wine between men and women, many things that are inconvenient to say and do inconvenient to do can be done naturally.
The so-called messy nature after drinking is just a culprit. The key is that people are already confused, but they just rely on wine to hide their shamelessness.
Look, I'm drunk, so I don't blame me or you. We just make mistakes that countless men and women will make after drinking.
The two of them were drinking and chatting, casual and comfortable, without any superiority or pretending to be majestic, but rather a bit of a friend.
"Uncle Song, that Wang Xiong probably wants to run away, you have to ask someone to check it out."
Li Xu picked up a bite of the dish and said.
Song Mu nodded and said, "I can see that it's more than Wang Xiong who wants to run away? The reason why the mad dogs in the Censorate bit people crazy is that you blocked their way to escape. Even many people in the court wanted to run away, and many people had already secretly packed their belongings at home and were waiting to run away whenever they had the chance."
"What's more, I went to the palace to deceive the Queen Mother and His Majesty into moving the capital."
Li Xu was a little surprised, "Moving the capital? Where can I move it?"
If you can't run away, you will encourage the emperor to run, and then you can run with you legitimately.
If the king and his ministers run away together, it is not called running away, but it is called moving the capital.
Li Xu really wanted to applaud this imaginative guy, he was really a talented person.
I can think of this idea!
"Some say they go south to Hanzhong Prefecture, and some advocates go west to Chencangzhou. They are all idiots, and they can think of any ideas for their own selfish interests. These worms are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality in their daily lives, and when they are in crisis, they only want to protect themselves. They deserve to be killed!"
Song Mu looked a little drunk and became a little unrestrained when he spoke.
Li Xu was speechless when he heard this.
These people who proposed to move the capital were really brainless. Go south to Hanzhong Prefecture?
Now there is no expressway that crosses the towering Qinling Mountains and opens hundreds of tunnels in the previous life. If you really want to cross mountains and ridges to Hanzhong Mansion, let alone be chased by someone, even if no one is hunting down, this vast group of people will be able to survive half of the time by their families and their families.
It is really considered that the 800-li Qinchuan is a decoration, and there are many hikers who died every year in Li Xu's previous life.
That was reported in the news, and most of the people who didn’t report it.
It is also unreliable to go west to Chencangzhou. Although the road is not as bumpy as the south, it is not smooth.
Moreover, Chen Cangzhou is a small town that can't accommodate so many people at all.
Once you are chased and surrounded, there is only one way to die.
Li Xu now believes more that stupid people in this world account for the majority.
Many people just cannot detect their stupidity, or even if they notice that they are unwilling to admit it.
